Abstract
The device comprises means for detecting an unscheduled movement of the movable core of an electromagnet during a holding phase. For this, a control and regulation circuit monitors the current flowing in at least one coil of the electromagnet. When, during a holding phase, the current flowing in the coil is greater than a setpoint value and either remains so during a preset time or is increasing, an unscheduled movement is then considered as being detected and the device makes the electro-magnet switch to inrush phase with a much higher current.
